When families and schools communicate effectively, students show up and thrive.
That’s exactly what happened in Tulsa Public Schools. A quasi-experimental study of 30,000 students found that using TalkingPoints significantly improved attendance rates.
TalkingPoints’ two-way text messaging and built-in language translation helped foster trust between educators and families, creating a path to collaboration for better student outcomes.
Key Findings:
- Students gained the equivalent of six additional days of learning per school year.
- Absenteeism rates dropped by 24% per year.
- Students from Spanish-speaking households experienced more significant improvements in attendance than those of their English-speaking peers.
